Cuba is a destination that will not stay as it is. The combination of preserved Spanish colonial architecture, 1950s American car culture, Caribbean coastline, and revolutionary mountain wilderness is a window that is slowly narrowing.
Havana is unmissable — the Malecón at dusk, the crumbling Habana Vieja lanes, the salsa bars where the music genuinely doesn't stop. But the country rewards moving: Viñales' tobacco valley, Trinidad's time-capsule streets, and the eastern Sierra Maestra's hiking trails.
Travel logistics require flexibility. Internet access is limited, ATMs are unreliable, and plans change with the weather and the infrastructure. These are not problems — they are the character of the place.
